Chapter 6184: Contempt
The North Source Region is vast and sparsely populated. The snowfield is rarely visited, and the population in the city is not large.
Except for Bingyunqiu, it is difficult to find a place where humans live on a large scale in the entire North Source Region.
However, the Winter Ridge is a special place.
The Winter Ridge is not high or large, about 30 miles long, and the highest point is only 2,000 meters.
The entire mountain is green, and there is absolutely no ice and snow covered in other areas. It can be said to be full of vitality.
Not only the mountains, but also the area within a radius of 50 miles is full of such spring scenery.
There are all kinds of creatures in the mountains and plains.
In the plains, a circular city is built around the Winter Ridge.
The inner side of the city is close to the Winter Ridge, and there is no city wall, but a circular river that separates the Winter Ridge from the city.
On the outside, there is a circle of majestic ice walls that surround the entire Winter Ridge and the city.
After years of development, there are many buildings and dense populations in the city. The tall buildings have reached more than ten floors, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Although the area outside the city wall is vast, no one is willing to give up the warm and comfortable life to resist the bitter cold and the danger of wild beasts.
Moreover, a complete ecology and society have been formed in the city, so there is no need to be surprised.
However, the sky above the Winter Ridge is not sunny.
The flying snow fell down, but at an altitude of 3,000 meters, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier and flew around, unable to fall into the Winter Ridge and the ring city.
Obviously, the environment here is different from that of Bingyunqiu.
The climate of Bingyunqiu is naturally formed, while here, the masters of Winter Ridge built a comfortable place with the means of heaven and earth.
Under the guidance of Yun Jian, Chen Yang walked from the ring city to the tree-lined Winter Ridge, feeling the warm air and looking at the flying snow swaying outside the invisible barrier, feeling like a dream.
Retracting his gaze, he smiled and asked Yun Jian: "I guess the cultivators of Winter Ridge are not afraid of the cold here, but for some reason, they set up such a large formation and created a spring scene. It can't be for the purpose of enjoying the flowers, right?"
Yun Jian stood on the hillside, looked back at the circular city, and explained with a smile: "When Winter Ridge was founded, a large number of mortals had gathered here. Because of the cold and the attacks of wild creatures, the lives of mortals were very difficult. The sect master couldn't bear it, so he set up a large formation and built a city to find a place for mortals to rest. After that, it has been developing and has reached its current scale."
"The kindness of the sect master is admirable." Chen Yang said sincerely.
Yun Jian said respectfully: "Now the sect master travels around the world. Although he has not appeared in Winter Ridge for ten thousand years, he is still the most respected person in the hearts of his disciples."
As they spoke, the two had reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The buildings of Winter Ridge are all concentrated on the halfway point of the mountain. The architectural style is very simple and does not give people a majestic and spectacular momentum.
Yun Jian was responsible for guarding the northbound teleportation array to the far north, and he had been guarding it for several years. He looked like he was exiled to the frontier.
Therefore, Chen Yang thought that Yun Jian's status in the Winter Ridge would not be too high.
Unexpectedly, after entering the core area of the Winter Ridge, many disciples took the initiative to greet Yun Jian, and their attitudes were quite respectful.
It seems that Yun Jian has a special identity.
But for some reason, he has been guarding the teleportation array.
After sitting down in a reception room, Yun Jian said to Chen Yang: "Brother Chen, wait a moment, I will go to ask the elders in the ridge."
"Thank you, Brother Yun." Chen Yang thanked.
Yun Jian was very efficient in doing things. Soon, he took a Winter Ridge elder who was a ninth-level saint master to the reception room.
Before entering the door, Chen Yang only heard the elder say: "My dear nephew Yun Jian, I came here for your father's sake. I hope you won't let me down."
Yun Jian said: "Don't worry, Senior Xu, Brother Chen is definitely a first-class genius. Trading with him will only benefit our Winter Ridge."
As they talked, the two walked into the reception room.
Chen Yang stood up to greet him: "Senior Xu, please come to talk to me. I am very grateful."
"Yes." Xu Shu nodded slightly to Chen Yang. Although Chen Yang was already a Saint Master at a young age, he was not too moved.
After all, as a ninth-level Saint Master, he was already a top-tier expert in the entire Zhonghao Realm.
Except for Xing Zun, no one had a higher realm than him.
So, Xu Shu was still quite arrogant in his heart.
If it weren't for Yun Jian's special status, he would definitely not waste his time to meet a first-level Saint Master.
As for Yun Jian's previous words, such as defeating a sixth-level Saint Master, Xu Shu didn't believe it at all.
The gap of one small realm in the Saint Master realm is no longer a world of difference, it is two completely different worlds.
Chen Yang is five realms lower than him. To defeat his opponent, it is equivalent to crossing the gap of five worlds. How can it be done?
Therefore, Xu Shu thought that Yun Jian was bragging to him in order to help Chen Yang.
After Xu Shu sat down, Yun Jian introduced the identities of both parties and said, "Senior Xu, Brother Chen means that Winter Ridge can put forward any conditions. In exchange, Brother Chen hopes that we Winter Ridge can help him investigate a person in Beiyuan Domain."
"When I came here, my nephew Yun Jian actually said these words to me." Xu Shu looked at Chen Yang opposite him, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and said: "However, Winter Ridge does not accept any tasks, which is well known in Beiyuan Domain. But if it is a deal, it is not impossible. But... Can Mr. Chen really fulfill any of the conditions we put forward?"
Chen Yang certainly couldn't accomplish everything, and he bowed his hands and said: "Junior has a wide range of knowledge, especially runes, and also has some attainments in various miscellaneous studies. Although I dare not guarantee that I can solve all the problems facing Winter Ridge, at least I can provide some effective suggestions in some areas of expertise."
"Hahaha..." Xu Shu laughed loudly and shook his head He said, "Mr. Chen, you are indeed talented. It is rare for you to reach the Saint Master level at such a young age. But after all, your level and age are not very high. Can you guarantee that your rune and miscellaneous knowledge level is higher than that of my high-level Saint Master in Winter Ridge, or even Star Master?"
Faced with Xu Shu's ridicule, Chen Yang was not angry, and said seriously, "If it comes to refining equipment, refining pills, refining formations, and setting up formations, I may not be as good as the rune masters who are higher than me. After all, their spirits and star energy are stronger than mine, but in theoretical knowledge, I think I have reached a high level."
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, then showed an unhappy look on his face, and said, "High? Haha, I have never seen someone as arrogant as you. Today I have broadened my horizons."
